Meet Sally
Sally Breeze Green, a published author, has been jotting down thoughts all of her life. From the time her mother gave her a give year diary to keep her daily memories, to stray thoughts that came to her from many time and places, it became evident she was a story teller at heart. In her trilogy of children's books exploring key components of the Christian faith, Green shares hopes of offering young readers lighthearted and enjoyable, fun-filled narratives of the Christian values with an impartial bit of guidance for living as God wishes. Time spent with family is a bonus when adults read these stories to their children.

Each of these books has had a difference approach to telling about Jesus and how to lead a loving and helpful life. In Lo & Behold, A Christmas Story, Jesus appears as the Savior of the world. the other two books, Georgie! A Big Fish Tale and Put a Tiger in Your Tank, are more adventure and value oriented in their content. These stories aim at teaching as well as entertaining middle aged and young teenage children.

In 2023, a fourth book emerged in a completely different direction. God's Story Made Simple for Kids covers the Biblical narrative from its beginning to its end. It is meant to do just as the title implies - to make the Biblical concepts easier for young mind to grasp at an early age.

"Stories of my youth taught me that God can speak to our hearts in dreams, just like He did in scripture. I love it when God awakens me at 3 a.m. in the morning and says, 'Get up and write this down!' That actually happened in my first book, Lo & Behold, a Christmas Story. I got up and the story just rolled out of my pen! Since then, I try to be sensitive to these early morning encounters with God. One never knows what will happen or what revelation will come about."

Illustrations in the first three books were provided by the author's grandniece, Melissa Green. "She seemed to read my intent of the narrative with her talent." In the fourth book, the art work was provided by her eldest grandson, Chris Green. He is an artist of many mediums and chose to portray her thoughts with digital art. Green shares, "I couldn't have done these works without their artistry"
